Common Issue Of Diabetes

Definition
What is diabetes mellitus?

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic autoimmune disease caused by a disorder of blood sugar regulation. That’s why diabetes is also often referred to as diabetes or diabetes.

Blood sugar disorders can be caused by various things including:

    Lack of insulin production by the pancreas
    Lack of body response to insulin
    The influence of other hormones that inhibit insulin performance

If this disease is not treated with the right treatment, it can cause a variety of dangerous complications, even life-threatening sufferers.
Types of diabetes mellitus

Based on the things that cause it, diabetes is divided into several types, namely:

Type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that causes the endurance system to attack and damage the cells that produce the hormone insulin, so that the pancreas cannot produce these hormones. This will cause the body to lack insulin and increase blood glucose levels.

This condition generally affects patients under the age of 40 years, especially in adolescence. Usually the symptoms of this disease are detected more quickly at a younger age, especially in childhood or adolescence.

The cause of this condition is unclear. Experts suspect that the cause of type 2 sugar disease might occur due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. However, you may have a higher risk of developing this condition if:

    your parents or siblings who have this condition
    in a state of exposure to viral diseases
    appearance of autoantibodies
    vitamin D deficiency, consuming cow’s milk or formula milk, and cereals before 4 months of age. Although it does not directly cause this condition to occur, it is still risky.

Type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of sugar disease. The incidence reaches 90-95 percent of all cases of diabetes in the world. This condition is called adult-onset diabetes because it is more common in adults.

Unlike type 1 diabetes, type 2 sufferers continue to produce insulin but not enough. The exact reason why type 2 appears is uncertain, but experts believe that a combination of genetic and environmental factors play a role in triggering the occurrence of this sugar disease.

Being overweight is the main trigger for diabetes, but not all type 2 diabetes mellitus patients are overweight.
Gestational diabetes

Gestational diabetes is diabetes which only occurs in pregnant women. This disease can cause problems in both mother and baby if not treated. If handled quickly properly, this condition usually resolves completely after giving birth.
Diabetes insipidus

Diabetes insipidus is a different condition caused by the inability of the kidneys to store water.

This disease usually results from genetic syndromes, surgery, side effects of drugs, malnutrition, infections, and other diseases. This condition is rare and can be treated.
Signs & Symptoms
What are the signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus?

Diabetes often doesn’t show any symptoms at first. In fact, many people who have never realized they have been diabetic for a long time because they have never experienced significant symptoms.

However, here are some typical signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus that you need to know:

    Often feel thirsty
    Frequent urination, sometimes occurs every hour and is called polyuria
    Weak, lethargic, and not powerful
    Frequent infections, such as skin, vaginal, canker sores, or urinary tract infections

Less common symptoms:

    Nausea or vomiting
    In women vaginal infections often occur
    Fungal or thrush infections
    Dry mouth
    Wounds are difficult to heal
    Itching of the skin, especially in the groin or vaginal area

Other symptoms of diabetes that you should be aware of:

1. Feet hurt and numb

Blood sugar levels that are very high will cause damage to the body’s nerves. Not all people experience these symptoms.

But people who have diabetes will feel numbness, tingling, and pain in the body, especially in the legs. Symptoms like this usually occur in someone who has had diabetes for 5 years or more.
2. Blurred vision

Blurred views on diabetes (the term for diabetics) usually come from lens disorders (cataracts) or eye nerve disorders (diabetic retinopathy).

The condition of blood sugar that is high enough can trigger a buildup of protein in the lens of the eye resulting in cataracts. Uncontrolled blood sugar can also cause the small blood vessels in the eye to be disturbed and even ruptured so that the eye nerve (retina) cannot work properly.
3. Skin problems

High levels of insulin encourage pigments that cause black spots on the skin. If there are changes that are felt on the skin, it could be the initial sign
